The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric - gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials - are seemingly endless. To describe them all would be to describe the entire history of sewing. In The Art of manipulating Fabric, Colette Wolff has set herself just this task, and she succeeds brilliantly. Working from the simplest possible form - a flat piece of cloth and a threaded needle - she categorizes all major dimensional techniques, show how they are related, and give examples of variations both traditional and modern. The result is an encyclopedia of techniques that resurface, reshape, restructure and reconstruct fabric. • More than 350 diagrams support the extensive how-tos, organized into broad general categories, then specific sub-techniques • Handsome photos galleries showcase the breathtaking possibilities in each technique and aid visual understanding by emphasizing the sculptured fabric surface with light and shadow • Textile artists and quilters, as well as garment and home decor sewers, will expand their design horizons with the almost limitless effects that can be achieved.

The beautiful embroidery technique known as "smocking" is employed in sewing to gather fabric for stretching purposes. Cotton and silk are examples of lightweight materials that are commonly smocked. Gathering or pleating the fabric is the initial step, followed by the employment of fine stitches to secure the gathers. The cloth now has a design that is both tactile and stretchy. Garment construction has long made use of smocking, particularly for the bodice of dresses, blouses, and childrenswear. Because of the technique's ability to incorporate both ornamental ornamentation and garment elasticity, the finished product is both comfortable and somewhat loose-fitting. Aesthetically pleasing and adding dimension to fabric surfaces, smocking is utilized in modern fashion and craft projects, while it has historical origins and was common in traditional attire.

Smocking is supposed to have originated in Europe somewhere in the medieval times, where buttons could not be afforded by the laborers to fasten the garment and fullness needed to be controlled. This was done with multiple rows of gathered fabric which was controlled over a wide area. Nowadays, it is restricted to just babies and children's clothing primarily, even though you can use it on any garment which needs a bit of decorative embellishment. Later on, smocking became a purely decorative design intended as a status symbol - the word originates from a peasants' shirt also known as a smock. This was used extensively in almost every garment made by hand for laborers as well as for popular ordinary wear in the eighteenth as well as the nineteenth century. Smocking at that time was done with crewel needles or embroidery needles with silken threads or cotton threads depending on the fabric. You will need about 3 times the initial width's material because of major part of it is going to be gathered up into folds, and stitched together. If you can gather the material, you can smock it. Naturally, this was the best way in which clothes could be "gathered together" in the absence of elastic. The fabrics on which the stitches work best are lightweight and ones that can gather easily. These include gingham, muslin, crepe de Chine, Cashmere, Swiss cotton, voile, Batiste, cottons, and handkerchief linens."
